Back in the Saddle Again

Well its been a while and I’d like to apologize for that. Been a rough couple of months. I have good news and bad news. I’ll start with the bad. The old forums are toast. Without me manually injecting the data I don’t think there is a way for me to restore them to what they were. After a few weeks of wrestling with it I can no longer justify spending any more time on it.

So what does this mean (besides data loss)?

Those of you who had a previous account on my page will need to re-register.

The good news is that I have the Colony City Chapter 2 update here and I realize that many of you didn’t visit the forums regularly so I will include the first Chapter below as well.

In addition I decided to build an entirely new rig, given my recent hiccups with just about everything else in my life I figured I’d might as well be able to render faster. So I am now the proud owner of Threadripper, way more SSD’s than any one person should have, and a hybrid cooled 1080ti in addition to my previous twin 980 ti’s. Needless to say render times have never been faster. The hour+ long render time per image for the Rave set is now down to about 25 minutes, simulations have gone down exponentially and the testing I have done in Realflow is super promising.

Speaking of Rave set, I have decided to split BM launch package into 3 chunks. Been working real hard on that set and I am really excited to show it to you all, but that will be for another time.

The site will be undergoing a lot of design changes now that I have most of the backend to where it needs to be, so don’t be alarmed going forward. Forums while stock should be usable at the moment. I will try to either have a new story time for Sunday or a teaser going for the Rave set, but I’ll keep you posted. Thank you all for being patient, you guys rock!
